I don't know what is more revolting...the repetitive sandbaggery...or AA's illusion of grandeur...

If Corum was 100% and Edwards was available to back him up, I'd give Michigan a puncher's chance of pulling an upset. But this reminds me of the season where M went to Columbus, and Chad Henne was playing with a dislocated (non throwing) shoulder, and Hart was playing on a sprained ankle. Great players both, but not enough to pull off a win.

Ah, but Henne’s noble (yet painful to watch) last stand was in A2 in 2007. An honest mistake but a lot has changed since then. For starters, Jimmy showed us last year that’s finally “gets it”. He’s got a plan for next Saturday.

As Jeff says, this is War. And as the (slightly) older Sun Tzu says, all war is deception. Remember that Justin Fields supposedly got his knee destroyed by PSU in 2019 yet obliterated M the next week..

Now Corum may very well be seriously hampered. Edwards might not be able to hold a ball and McCarthy’s passing game might suck ass. Michigan sure has had it’s share of those types of misfortune.

We’ve also seen a lot of pleasant surprises. So let’s just wait and see before we unfurl the white flags and beg for mercy from these asshats.

All staged ...... the great HARBAUGH!!!! deception. You better believe Jimmy is a military history buff and aficionado of military style discipline, accountability and the art of deception..

Correct. It’ll be worse than last year.

[lineygoblue]

Believe me, guys. I'd love nothing more that to be able to speak from a position of high confidence that this team has the ability to go in and shut down those asshats and make them boil in their own blood with anger over losing once again to 'ttun'. Nothing would make me happier.

But ..

Going into Evanston or College Park isn't exactly like starting a land war in Asia. Ohio can be beaten.

Columbus, OH weather forecast looks favorable for M at this moment.

Cold, rainy, and windy conditions. I will have M winning 24-17 in an ugly slugfest. M trenches win it.

We shall see how the weather conditions forecast change this week… checking back on Friday.

[Cody_Russell]

One last post to add on…

The Ohio State injury situation.
It’s noteworthy to monitor the injury status of RB TreVeyon Henderson and RB Miyan Williams. Especially if the weather conditions look ugly. Unclear how healthy they will be on Saturday or if they will play. True freshman RB Dallan Hayden did look decent.
Ohio State RG Matt Jones did exit the Maryland game late in the game. QB CJ Stroud played through a slight limp late in the game vs Maryland too.

Both teams have their injury questions. No excuses.

All I see is we're supposed to get light rain on Friday. So, meh

Right ....... there's nothing certain about Saturday's weather in Columbus. The NWS is hedging toward a trough that will be responsible for precip staying to the west of Columbus until Sunday but there's some uncertainty with the two models NWS uses to develop local forecasts differing - one says the rain stays to the west the other says it moves into the Columbus area.

Bears watching.

To me, you forget about the weather conferring some kind of advantage to one team or the other. Plan A is for worst case - a wet ball - and develop you're game plan accordingly. Have a good weather plan B and rep both. Complicates the practice week along with the Thanksgiving Holiday adding another level of complexity to the practice schedule. I feel confident the coaching staff will handle this keeping in mind that both teams have been practicing plays just for this game all season long..

[Jeff Buchanan]

For now, this is the WX picture. The top map displays rain probability on Friday. The bottom map shows the sky cover on Saturday. I selected these two maps because they show best the impact of this trough that the NWS is uncertain about what it will do. If it starts west of Columbus on Friday it suggests the area of moisture to the south of Columbus will be directed by upper level winds into the Columbus area on Friday with it pushing through on Friday night and clearing on Saturday. If it moves east of Columbus the moisture will be drawn from the South into the Columbus region on Saturday and there will be rain.

Right now you can see the NWS graphical forecasts show rain on Friday (this is the probability of rain graphic on top) and then clearing on Saturday (this is the sky cover and temp graphic. below).

I'm keeping an eye on this and will update it on Wednesday - the 48 and 72h prog charts usually resolve any forecast differences in the models.

Good lord. Play it in the Bahamas or Norway. HARBAUGH!!!! is gonna assjack CRD.

[THE_WIZARD_]

Do you ever tire of sandbagging? Asking for a fiend.

[Mike]

I wish I could say things like “we’re gonna get assjacked” and it would be taken as a joke. In my case it’s just the honest truth.
